Branson High School students have organized a benefit concert and silent auction – “Songs of Hope” – for one of their fellow classmates, Taylor Poor, who suffers from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD).  RSD is a rare, neurological disorder causing chronic pain throughout the body.  Proceeds from the concert will pay for a treatment program for Taylor that is not covered by medical insurance.  The students hope to raise the $20,000 needed for the treatment.

“Songs of Hope” will be held at the Oak Ridge Boys Theatre and is scheduled for November 7 at 3 p.m.  The concert will feature performances by Country Tonight, Paul Harris, Voices of Glory, the BHS Vocal Jazz Ensemble, Premiere Dance Academy and Maddi Bailey.

Tickets may be purchased directly from the Oak Ridge Boys Theatre box office (239-1333), Branson High School Cheerleaders, or the Branson High School Gifted students.  All tickets are $10 each.

The Branson High School Fine Arts Department will host the Third Annual Ye Old Grub and Song Night scheduled November 2 at 6:00 p.m. in the Commons.  Cost is $10 for a handmade pottery bowl and dinner served by our students.  Children 12 and under can eat for $3 (without the pottery bowl).

Entertainment will be provided by the Chamber Singers, the Ladies Select Ensemble and The Grubby Players.  Questions may be directed to the Fine Arts Department by calling 334-6541, ext. 5422.
